The general morphology of the antennary and maxillary glands, which form the major renal system of adult Crustacea, has been described and reviewed by Goodrich (1945). However, studies on the fine structure are restricted mainly to the antennary glands of decapods, including Orcotiectes sp. (formerly Cambarus sp.) (Anderson & Beams, 1956; Beams, Anderson & Press, 1956), Orconectes affinis (Kümmel, 1964), Procambarus clarkii (Miyawaki & Ukeshima, 1967; Schaffner & Rodewald, 1978), Procambarus blandingi (Peterson & Loizzi, 1974), Austropotomobius pallipes pallipes (Riegel & Cook, 1975) and Uca mordax (Schmidt-Nielsen, Gertz & Davis, 1968). The maxillary gland of Artemia salina is the only excretory system of a non-decapod which has been studied in detail (Tyson, 1968, 1969a, b). Morelli & Tobolla worked independently on the antennary glands of amphipods, Gammarus sp. (cited Kümmel, 1973), but their studies were restricted to the site of filtration.

Platelet adhesion initiates platelet aggregation and is an important component of the hemostatic process. Since the development of a new form of collagen as a topical hemostatic agent is of both basic and clinical interest, an ultrastructural and hematologic study of the interaction of platelets with the microcrystalline collagen preparation was undertaken.In this study, whole blood anticoagulated with EDTA was used in order to inhibit aggregation and permit study of platelet adhesion to collagen as an isolated event. The microcrystalline collagen was prepared from bovine dermal corium; milling was with sharp blades. The preparation consists of partial hydrochloric acid amine collagen salts and retains much of the fibrillar morphology of native collagen.
